Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irish Affairs the Home Rule Question: A Comparison of the Attitude of Political Parties Towards Irish Problems I have been asked by the author to contribute a few words by way of introduction, and I conclude that the request is made of me as an ardent Irish Unionist by conviction and birth. As a relative of the Lord Castlereagh who was responsible for that great blessing to Ireland, and especially to Ulster, the Act of Union, I am by heredity an opponent of Home Rule. Experience and knowledge of Ireland as a former member for an Ulster constituency and, at a later period, as as Lord Lieutenant have strengthened my opinion against Home Rule. Whatever progress and prosperity have come to Ireland - and of later years the advancement has been pronounced - they are due to the policy of Union. If it were broken, as the Home Rulers desire, ruin, bankruptcy, and not impossibly civil war might be the result. From the financial point of view the statement laid before Mr. Gladstone in 1893 by the Belfast Chamber of Commerce proved beyond all doubt that his proposals were absolutely unworkable.
